Hi all, is it Wednesday again already? I continue to be on a bit of a creative spurt and have started another new design on my wall. I really love the "working it out" part of the design process.
I narrowed down the prints I want to use and cut my triangles, now I am working on placement and deciding how big I want the quilt to be; how much negative space, how far apart to space the shapes, etc. I'm also "auditioning" that gray linen (selvedge not to be included) to possibly add in randomly. I have just a bit left over from my Oakshott quilt!
Speaking of my Oakshott quilt, I got it all basted on Sunday and then realized I didn't have the right thread color to begin quilting–???. I now have what I hope will be enough spools of Aurafil- Linen color on its way to me as we speak– thank you Pink Chalk, for your speedy service!!
While I'm waiting I decided to make the binding for the quilt so it's ready to go when I finish quilting. It's so nice have that part done and just waiting isn't it? Since I decided to use Robert Kaufman Shot cotton on the back, along with some leftovers from the front, I had enough left over to create the binding in this beautiful orange color!
I'm pretty sure I'm going to bind up Miss A's Scrappy Strings Quilt and then do a bit of hand quilting. My Mom is loaning me the first two seasons of Downton Abby, that should make it even more enjoyable. Thanks so much for the great tips on quilting and good tv series' to enjoy while quilting. I love how much knowledge and experience there is in our little quilting/blogging community, and how generous you all are with it!! Just in case anyone is wondering, I sometimes will respond to your comment in the comments section and not via email directly to you…. and alas, sometimes I may just space out altogether and forget to respond (not often), but please know I read each one and appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Hope you all are having a fabulous week!!
I'm linking up with Lee's WIP Wednesday today, go on over a check out all the fun!
Karen, your pinned quilt looks beautiful. That is such an exquisite picture.
so many great projects- that orange binding will be fabulous!
All three are gorgeous. Everytime I see shot cotton fabric I swoon a little…I really need to get my hands on some!
Beautiful quilts. Love that orange binding.


Facebook groups have changed so much in the last 15 months, because they are so popular whatever your reason for participating is. From blogging advice groups to sharing ideas for filling our kids lunch boxes to work groups for businesses, and online class groups, most people are in at least forty one Facebook group that supports a passion or interest.
But with all those Facebook groups comes some etiquette guidelines that often get forgotten as groups grow. I wrote about five important ones a while back, but today I'm adding five more that have become even more important.
follow the group guidelines. I cannot stress this one enough! If a blogging group says you can only share links on a certain day, don't start a post with "admin delete if not allowed", you know it isn't allowed, stop doing it!
don't share something you see in a group outside of that group. Most groups are closed, meaning people can see who is in the group, but not what is said. This means that no matter the topic, people can share their concerns and frustrations, and hope for privacy. By sharing something outside the group, you're breaking that person's trust.
if you don't have something useful (or nice) to add to the conversation, keep scrolling. Some Facebook groups are huge. I'm in a lunchbox ideas group that has over 35,000 people in it. That's a lot of ideas and questions, and lots of differing opinions. If you don't like something that you see in a group, it's ok to comment that you disagree, but it isn't ok to make the comment if fifty other people have made the same comment. And it is never ok to attack somebody else for their different opinions.
be helpful. We join these groups because we have an interest in the topic, and often want to share our knowledge. Don't sit back and watch the group move, participate. Whether it's a group that has been quiet so you post questions to get people talking, or you see a question that hasn't been answered and you know you can help, share your knowledge. Sometimes you get a reputation for being a know-it-all, but you usually get a reputation for being a helper.
don't just join groups for what you can get out of it. This goes along with the previous point. I know people who join groups for the sole purpose of gathering ideas for blog posts, or selling their business products. If that's the only reason you're there, leave now. The other people in the group will quickly work out what you're doing, and avoid you. Better to see point 4.
Can you add any other guidelines that others ignore?
Have you filled out my reader survey yet? Just 13 questions, and you'll have my undying thanks!
I'm in so many groups I can't keep up with them all so sometimes I only check some of them once a week. I'm sure I miss heaps of stuff. I have to say though the Kmart groups are awesome for finding out new products, but also feed my shopping addiction.
I'm the same as Toni - I'm in way too many groups! But they can be so useful and helpful. I try to participate as much as I can but in the bigger ones I'm sometimes more of a lurker. but I definitely echo each of these points. Off to check your earlier post now too!

Their reputation was built through word-of-mouth. Customers told friends, family, and neighbors that Zolar is the best choice when you want a reliable local mover with reasonable rates and careful, courteous workers. Dave and John are proud that Zolar Moving Co. has become Ithaca's oldest and most trusted independent moving company. And they are still up for anything.

Grego talks about how Memorial Day Weekend is supposed to be a wet one, which means hurricane season is right around the corner.
"The topic may sound a bit uninteresting but when you get right down to it, everybody wants to know what`s up with the weather!! Even more when we`re preparing for a three-day weekend! Time to open up the beach house!! Put the boat in the water, and play a few rounds of golf!! Well, maybe fourth of July! Yeah, you might not wanna make too many outdoor Memorial Day plans because mucho rain is forecast. hey I know you don't wanna hear it but maybe if you're not surprised by a rain-out, you won't get as depressed. We`ve had a lot of rain so far this month. `Ol faithful, the Farmer`s Almanac predicted it. It also says June will have higher than normal temps and way below average precipitation, July will be fairly normal, and August will also be hot and dry. Maybe the rain we`re getting now will make the impending drought conditions less severe. Oh. and look out for September!!! Still warmer than normal but precipitation off the charts!! Hmm, you thinking what I`m thinking?! Yeah, we could be prime for at least one hurricane and maybe more! So, now would be a good time to start getting that emergency supply kit stocked! Meteorologists say all of it is due to what may be one of the strongest El Ninos in two decades which will have the jetstream moving the air from west to east dipping way down south carrying moisture right across Texas and that`s about as technical as the law allows me to get! Granted, this is Texas and who really knows what the weather is gonna do, but plan projects, parties and rain ponchos for this Memorial Day Weekend! Ahh, still beats working!"

Antique Bohemian Royal Dux figure 'The Water Carrier'
Dimensions:H: 28" (71.1 cm)Di: 8" (20.3 cm)
Antique Bohemian Royal Dux figure 'The Water Carrier'. Biscuit glazed, hand crafted and painted figure of a Middle Eastern turbaned man carrying a water pitcher in one hand and a goatskin water container on his shoulder. His green tunic is tied at the middle by a red sash and he wears a blanket over one shoulder. All on a decorative plinth. To the base, the Royal Dux pink triangle with an E to the centre, indicating a manufacture period between 1860 and 1919. The mould or pattern number of 613 also imprinted to the base along with an unidentified painter's monogram.
Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), circa 1900 - 1910
The Dux Porcelain Manufactory was started in 1860 by the expert modeller, Eduard Eichler in what was then known as Duchov, Bohemia. Terracotta, faience and majolica products based on designs from Copenhagen, Worcester and Sèvres were the principal items manufactured at the time and the company flourished, being awarded a Silver Medal in the Paris exhibition in 1878. With a change of ownership, the factory began producing soft paste porcelain goods alongside their traditional items and enjoyed ongoing success. In 1904, the factory was employing 400 workers. That year it was awarded the Grand Prix at the world exhibition in St Louis, the silver medal at the Exhibition in Milan, 1906 and gold medal at the Exhibition in Liberec. Some of the products made at that time are still being produced today. Sample store-houses and representatives existed in Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna, London, Amsterdam, Bologna, Paris, Stockholm and Madrid and the company had trade connections with all Europe, Russia and even North America.
The figurines were built up from various parts rather than just being moulded in one piece and the larger the piece, the more individual pieces were used to create it. It required great skill to finish each piece off to the exacting standards required. Once completed, the models were passed on to artists who painted each individual piece by hand, finishing by painting their monogram in the final glaze colour to the base.

Stadium-Red-Wins-with-Dangerous
Edmeston, NY (May 5, 2011)--New York's Stadium Red, home to several Grammy-winning engineers and producers, features Dangerous Music hardware in Studios A and C4.
ProSoundNetwork Editorial Staff ⋅ May 5, 2011
Edmeston, NY (May 5, 2011)–New York's Stadium Red, home to several Grammy-winning engineers and producers, features Dangerous Music hardware in Studios A and C4.
In-house team members include Classical Producer of the Year winner David Frost, Best Classical Album winner, mix engineer Tom Lazarus, along with Best Rap Album winner, producer Just Blaze. The A and C4 studios are outfitted with a range of Dangerous Music hardware, including the Dangerous Monitor ST and the Monitor ST/SR customized for 7.1 surround, the Dangerous 2-Bus LT analog summing, and the new Dangerous BAX EQ.
"There were four projects done at Stadium Red that won Grammys this year," says Claude Zdanow, founder and CEO of Stadium Red. "Three of the Grammys were in the classical world and one in hip-hop. In total, we were nominated for 11 Grammys in nine different categories.
"We won Best Rap Album for Eminem's 'Recovery' with Just Blaze. He produced on the album and also did some mixing out of the A room, where he was using the Dangerous Monitor ST. Three of the five projects that made David Frost Classical Producer of the Year were done here in our Studio A using the Monitor ST/SR monitoring system. All our engineers, producers and mixers love the Dangerous Music gear. It's gear we can trust on all our work."
Zdanow continues, "The engineer that works out of Studio C4 is Ariel Borujow. He was the first person to say, 'Listen, we need the Dangerous summing.' He tried it out, and now he won't mix without it. He's primarily an in-the-box guy, but his chain is always: out to the Dangerous 2-Bus LT summing, to two tracks to an SSL compressor, then to the Dangerous BAX EQ. He swears by it; he won't mix any other way."

100 thieves steal $13m in three hours from cash machines across Japan
Organised crime believed to be behind coordinated raids across stores in Japan
Nearly $13m was stolen in just under three hours from ATMs in Japan. Photograph: Alamy
Justin McCurry in Tokyo
Mon 23 May 2016 00.31 EDT Last modified on Tue 28 Nov 2017 15.59 EST
Members of an international crime syndicate are suspected of stealing more than 1.4bn yen (US$12.7m) from cash machines in Japan in the space of less than three hours, in an audacious heist that involved thousands of coordinated withdrawals.
Police believe that as many as 100 people, none of whom have been apprehended, worked together using forged credit cards containing account details illegally obtained from a bank in South Africa.
Who invented the cash machine? I did – and all I earned was £10
The culprits used the fake cards at 1,400 convenience store automated teller machines on the morning of 15 May, according to police. Each made withdrawals of 100,000 yen at a time – the maximum allowed by the cash machines – and there was a total of 14,000 withdrawals.
The thieves targeted cash machines in the capital Tokyo and 16 other prefectures, according to Kyodo News.
Japanese police have asked the authorities in South Africa, via Interpol, to establish how the credit card information was obtained.
Transaction data retrieved from the cash machines suggests that the criminals used information for 1,600 credit cards issued by the South African bank, which has not been named.
The Yomiuri Shimbun reported that the withdrawals began just after 5am last Sunday, with the last one made just before 8am the same day.
Reports suggest that members of the gang may no longer be in Japan. By using cards that were issued in a different country from the one in which the fraud took place - and on a day of the week when banks were closed - they were probably able to buy themselves enough time to leave the country before their crime was discovered.
Japan is the latest victim of a string of ATM heists using credit cards forged using leaked data. In one case, thieves withdrew 4.5bn yen in 26 countries, including Japan, in 2012 and 2013, the Yomiuri said.
This article was amended on 23 May 2016 to include the fact that 14,000 withdrawals were made in total.

Coalition: Civilian Health in Gaza in Grave Jeopardy from Attacks on Facilities, Ambulances, and Infrastructure
(Management Sciences for Health is a member of the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition)
We, the undersigned members of the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition, demand that the government of Israel, Hamas, and armed groups respect their obligations under international human rights and humanitarian law to respect and protect health facilities, transports, and personnel, and to make health services available to all people in need of care. The Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition promotes the security of health workers and services threatened by war or civil unrest.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) situation report of July 29, 20% of the hospitals in Gaza have been damaged from shelling or other attacks. Five hospitals have closed, two are partially closed, and three others cannot operate because of lack of security for staff and patients.
The al Wafa medical rehabilitation hospital, damaged on several occasions in the past two weeks and evacuated on July 17, was reportedly completely destroyed by Israeli fire on July 23. The 100 bed Al-Aqsa hospital in central Gaza came under fire four times; on the last occasion an Israeli tank shell hit the third floor, killing four people, wounding 16, and forcing closure. WHO reports that patients and staff have died during attacks.
On July 25 Palestinian Ministry of Health emergency operations, which works in coordination with WHO and other international organizations, reported 12 ambulances have been damaged and 38 health personnel have been injured. Two pharmacists, two paramedics, and one administrative manager died after Israeli airstrikes hit in their immediate vicinity. WHO's July 29 report notes that two ambulance workers were killed on July 25 and three others injured when trying to evacuate wounded people from eastern and northern Gaza.
The deprivation of the right to access health care for people in Gaza extends beyond damage to facilities and transport. According to WHO, half of the 54 primary health clinics operated by the Ministry of Health have closed on account of insecurity, medical staff are unable to reach posts that remain open, ambulance workers have come under fire, and basic medical supplies have run dangerously low. WHO notes that "The coping capacity of health professionals is completely overstretched, and they are working under extreme and insecure conditions."
Public health, including access to potable water and sanitation, is also under threat. Humanitarian access for supplies, medicines, transports, clean water, and food during the crisis for more than half the people of Gaza has been obstructed.
All parties to the conflict must immediately respect obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law to assure preservation of health services and the right to health in Gaza.
Under international law, all sides have a responsibility to assure that access to health care be preserved, and attacks on health facilities or personnel, obstruction of access to facilities or passage of supplies, are strictly prohibited.
The parties have alleged violations by the other side, e.g., that Hamas has misused hospitals and ambulances for storage and firing of weapons and that Israel has targeted medical facilities and transports. "These claims await a full investigation. What is not in any doubt, however, is the unequivocal obligation under international law to protect civilians; even where one party breaches its obligations, the other must minimize harm to civilians," said Leonard Rubenstein, chair of the Coalition. All those who violate these fundamental standards must be held accountable.
We demand that health facilities, medical personnel, ambulances, and infrastructure be safe and secure for exercising their essential functions, permitting access to health care and public health infrastructure, safe evacuation of the wounded and sick, protection of civilians, and enabling health workers to perform their vital work.

The major problem with contemporary scholars' approach to Jesus' resurrection is that they come to do the work of autopsy, not adoration. But Jesus Christ is the apex of all that is precious, the center of all that is glorious and delightful. He is the very point of existence. He is the Son of the living God, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last who was and is and is to come.
"O come let us adore Him!"—not scrutinize, utilize, or analyze Him.
The personal claim the risen Jesus makes about Himself is that He is the God of the universe and that He deserves our awe, our reverence, our worship, our love, and our devotion.
— Jared C. Wilson, Unparalleled, 149.
In contrast with the difficulty of vocalizing YHWH, what is the English equivalent of the Hebrew phrase Hallelu-YAH? It's simply Hallelu-YAH. How do you say the Hebrew phrase Hallelu-YAH in Greek? in Spanish? in German? in French? in Swahili? in Chichewa? in Luganda? It's all the same in these languages, with minor differences in spelling. No translation is necessary. Indeed, the phrase may be rendered "Praise the LORD." Yet it has achieved spontaneous universality.
The Psalter has shown the way for the universe to praise its Creator and Redeemer. The Psalms consummate with Hallelu-YAH, and all nations and peoples can join in the joyful, spontaneous celebration. Even the ease with which the expression can be articulated deserves notice. In a remarkable way, the word Hallelu-YAH is particularly suitable for opening wide the mouth, dropping the jaw, and loudly shouting God's praise. Try it!

If Psalm 95 had a soundtrack, the record skips and scratches or the car brakes slam between the middle and end of verse 7.
The first verses fit well within the surrounding psalms; the themes of singing, shouting, joy, and the greatness of God are all there. But beginning with the last line of verse 7, the song changes quick, fast, and in a hurry.
I recently finished Fred Sanders' (@fredfredsanders) John Wesley on the Christian Life: The Heart Renewed in Love. I was doubly drawn to the book: having read Sanders' The Deep Things of God, I had been acquainted with his rich devotion to the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3) and his helpful, clear writing. The subject of the book also appealed to me; I knew very little about Wesley, other than scattered "facts" that were admittedly unverified and likely caricature. Since Sanders comes from a thoughtful Wesleyan perspective, I hoped I was in for a treat.

Transmission: Automatic Color:White Interior Color: Gray Average Vehicle Review: (4.8 reviews) The interior room is awesome! It has all the toughness of a truck with the smooth ride of a mini van. It does fantastic in the snow. Also, it's really nice to be able to lay 4x8 sheets of wood or whatever in the bed and they actually lay FLAT....not leaning up against the wheel wells. The extra storage under the bed is very convenient as well. I hope to have this for a long time, but my 18 year old is wanting a vehicle soon, so we'll see.
Transmission: Automatic Color:Blue Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (4.5 reviews) This is my third Honda in a row. It has all the appointments I want, it was in the perfect price range. It drives so solidly, performs well, looks great, and the interior leaves nothing to be desired. Being I've owned 2 prior honda's (an '03 Accord and a 94 Prelude), I know the dependability is fantastic and I will have this car for a long time.


Chatbots (or bots) are hot. Retrieving data through natural language is getting more and more common. Many people already have apps like Slack or Messenger installed and letting them use your application through these channels can provide you with more opportunities. In this article I'll show you how to build your first chat bot with Bot Framework and LUIS. Although LUIS is not required for the bot framework itself, we dive directly in the combination of both. Check out my previous article on how to set up LUIS. Building a bot with the Bot Framework is extremely easy, yet very powerful. Let's see how this can be done!
I'll be using Visual Studio as my IDE.
Bot Framework Visual Studio Template: This allows you to create a Bot Framework project easily.
Microsoft Bot Framework Emulator: Needed to emulate talking to your bot.
A LUIS model. I'll be using my RestaurantLuisModel from my previous article. Don't forget to publish this app in LUIS.
Download the Bot Framework Visual Studio Template and install it as a ProjectTemplates. Once installed correctly, create a new project in Visual Studio. Select Bot Application and give it a name. Create your solution and you're ready to build your first bot.
WebApiConfig: Since the Bot Framework runs on ASP.NET WebAPI, this class is needed to handle settings, config and routes.
HandleSystemMessage(Activity message): System messages can be handled as well, for example you can get notified when the user is typing a message.
new Dialogs.RootDialog(): When a user message is received, the RootDialog is created.
RootDialog: The starting point of our bot. Inspect the MessageReceivedAsync-method where you'll see that the bot will respond to any message by telling you how many characters you've sent.
Without doing anything furter, we're able to talk to this bot. Simply build and run the application which will start your browser with a general message from the default.htm-file.
To be able to talk to this bot, we'll first be using the emulator. Simply start this application and enter your endpoint URL. Since the application is running locally, enter the URL from the browser window that just opened and append /api/messages (this is the default route). Hit Enter and the Emulator will start connecting with the bot. Simply type a message and start chatting with your first bot!
The URL on top where you're able to see to which bot you're connected to.
The messages window on the left side to show you the conversation.
If you click on a message, you'll get more (technical) details in the Details-pane.
The Log-pane displays the current activity and communication.
A LuisModel attribute has been added, requiring a LUIS_MODEL_ID and LUIS_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY from LUIS.
LUIS_MODEL_ID can be found on the Overview for your app, also called an App Id.
LUIS_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY can be found under My Keys.
The dialog now inherits from LuisDialog.
The LuisIntent attributes are used to handle the Intents that LUIS recognized. They should have the same name as configured in LUIS.
That's all there is to it! Simply build and run, fire up your emulator again and start talking to your bot to see if LUIS is able to recognize the intents.
But LUIS isn't only able to recognize Intents, but also Entities which makes everything a whole lot more powerful. In LUIS we've defined food as an Intent, so let's try to extract that in the OrderFood-method.
// Check if LUIS has identified the entity that we should look for.
As you can see, we're using TryFindEntity to search for the LUIS Entity we're looking for. When we have that value, we display it to the user. It's that easy! Now build and run again and see your first chat bot with LUIS come to life in your emulator.
With just a few lines of code we're able to make to make our first smart bot using the Bot Framework and LUIS. As you can imagine, we'll need more to actually make this a useful bot but this is a pretty good start. Simply start adding more Intents to LUIS and let the Bot Framework handle these. Stay tuned for more articles about smart bots and the Bot Framework. Let me know what you think in the comments or on Twitter.


Last Sunday I gave a talk at Language Show Live in London entitled The Freelance Translator's Free Marketing Toolkit.
It was amazing. The audience was great, and I had the chance to network with a few fellow colleagues I hope to meet again in the near future.
There was, however, something that didn't go as planned. I had promised to be on Facebook Live and stream my presentation in real time, but the wifi signal at the venue wasn't as reliable as I thought. My assistants (well, my friends actually, but 'assistants' sounds so fancy!) managed to record part of the presentation anyway, so I decided to upload it on YouTube. The first 5-10 minutes are missing, but, as I did last year, I'll write some in-depth articles about the main topics I covered, so do not worry!
In the meantime, you can watch the recording of my presentation.
You can also flick through my presentation from the Slideshare box below, or download the PDF version from here. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to email me at martina@3p-translation.com or leave a comment below.

Mormon sister missionary injured in Brussels said bomb felt 'like end of the world'

The blown out windows of Zaventem airport are seen after a deadly attack in Brussels, Belgium, Tuesday, March 22, 2016. Authorities in Europe have tightened security at airports, on subways, at the borders and on city streets after deadly attacks Tuesday on the Brussels airport and its subway system. Peter Dejong, Associated Press
The young, French LDS sister missionary on her way to the United States Tuesday morning was at the checkout desk at the Brussels airport when the first of two bombs exploded nearby, she told European news outlets Thursday.
"There was just an enormous noise, like the end of the world in a second," Sister Fanny Clain told France TV Pluzz, "and I found myself on the ground and debris was everywhere. I was covered in gray stuff, it smelled like burning pork.
"I got up and went outside as quickly as possible," she said. "And then people told me I was burned, and I caught site of myself in a mirror and I saw some of my burns, but I didn't look very long."
Gauze covered the burns on her head, hands and fingers as she gave the interview from her bed in the burn unit at Stuivenberg Hospital in Antwerp, Belgium. She also suffered burns to her legs.
"It burned," she said, "it burned. My leg didn't hurt too bad, it was the burns that really hurt."
She said she didn't panic.
"I wasn't afraid. I just looked for help, I wasn't afraid, people around me were very nice."
The 20-year-old from Montélimar, France, had been serving in the France Paris Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while waiting for a permanent visa to the United States. She was at the airport to catch her flight to Cleveland, Ohio, where she was to complete her missionary assignment.
Three missionaries who dropped her off at the airport were seriously injured by a blast. Nails were included in the suicide bombs to increase the amount of shrapnel, investigators said.
Elder Richard Norby, 66, of Lehi, Utah, is in a medically induced coma. His family has said he faces a long recovery from shrapnel wounds and burns to his head, neck and lower leg.
Shrapnel and heat from the bomb also wounded Elder Mason Wells, 19, of Sandy, Utah, and Elder Joseph Dresden Empey, 20, of Santa Clara, Utah.
Doctors performed surgery on Elder Wells to repair a ruptured Achilles' tendon. Elder Empey also underwent surgery on his legs. Both young men suffered burns to their heads and arms.
"I cried a little bit yesterday but I'm not going to cry too much," Clain said. "Otherwise, I'll get dehydrated."
Sister Clain's father, Thierry Clain, provided an update on her condition Friday morning.
"Fanny is doing well. She was operated on today to remove shrapnel from her body and is resting. She also received second-degree burns to her hands and face and is receiving treatment. I have been in contact with the hospital, but was unable to talk with Fanny because she was sleeping. I have been extremely touched by the concern and goodness expressed by others in regards to Fanny. I look forward to visiting her Saturday and staying a few days with her."

The world today is enthralled with weight loss, both for cosmetic and health reasons. In spite of the reason, majority of the people want the shortest way possible and end up trying all sorts of fad diets, very extreme workout regimens, and poor lifestyle choices that will only end up thwarting their weight loss goals. The major reason why a weight loss program will not work is because for you to stick to one, you have to be comfortable in it, enjoy it, and the program has to be safe and healthy.
Here are some weight loss tips to help you in your quest to shed off those extra pounds. With these tips, you don't have to get rid of your favorite foods or use every minute of your waking time in the gym exercising. Rationally, a good weight loss program should take some time to record tangible success. If you come across someone telling you that you will lose weight in a very short span of time, be cautious because the person might be uninformed or worse still, not honest with you. For a start, you can stick to a single weight loss program for 30 or so days, and see how it takes you. If no changes, you can then go for something else.
The first tip that will help you lose weight is to walk, walk, and walk some more. If you can dedicate some time everyday for walking, you will be sure of expending calories while in the process fortifying your muscles and heart. A mini cycle too will do. A mini cycle is a portable workout unit that resembles a bicycle pedal on a metal bar. With a mini cycle, you can be able to pedal and move your legs while at your desk in the office, on the couch or wherever else you can put and reach the pedals comfortably.
The third tip talks about taking the stairs in place of an escalator or elevator. Even though you might not notice the effort involved, it is a great weight loss exercise. Equally, you can decide to walk to the grocery store and park the car somewhere far away. Tip four talks about food. Losing weight doesn't necessarily mean getting rid of all your favorite foods, it means eating the foods in moderation, and at times only when the craving is so strong.
While at the moment there is no particular type of food that will interfere with your weight loss attempts, when you take any food thought to be 'bad' in excess can for sure interfere. The last tip talks about adopting a practical exercise routine and sticking to it by setting some time for it every day. People who set a routine are highly likely to stick to it and record success than someone without a plan.

Q: How to duplicate an ASP.NET MVC project and make it not accept authentication cookies from the original application? I duplicated an ASP.NET MVC project and renamed all the namespaces to the new project name.
But now, if I log into the original application, and immediately navigate to the duplicated application, the dupe application accepts the authentication cookie and allows me through.
They are hosted on the same domain.
The applications use ASP.NET Identity for authentication.
Is there a unique application key or something like that that needs to be changed in the duplicated application so that it does not accept authentication cookies from the original?

A: Change CookieName in your either application, it will help you.
You can find CookieName in:
ASP.NET Identity
Change the value of the existing line or add a line to within Startup.Auth.cs
public partial class Startup
{
    public void ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
        {
            AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,
            LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login"),

            /* Add the following line */
            CookieName = "MyAppUniqueCookieNameHere"

    }
 }

in case form authentication

Metaphysics - Wikipedia
Metaphysics is a traditional branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world that encompasses it,[1] although the term is not easily defined.[2] Traditionally, metaphysics attempts to answer two basic questions in the broadest possible terms:[3] Ultimately, what is there?What is it like? Prior to the modern history of science, scientific questions were addressed as a part of metaphysics known as natural philosophy. Originally, the term "science" (Latin scientia) simply meant "knowledge". The scientific method, however, transformed natural philosophy into an empirical activity deriving from experiment unlike the rest of philosophy. Etymology[edit] However, once the name was given, the commentators sought to find intrinsic reasons for its appropriateness. Central questions[edit] Cosmology and cosmogony[edit] Metaphysical Cosmology is the branch of metaphysics that deals with the world as the totality of all phenomena in space and time. [edit] [edit]

Naples City Council candidates debate Naples Beach Hotel redevelopment plan at second forum

Naples City Council candidates (Photo: Submitted Photo)
The four Naples City Council candidates were more or less on the same page with the Naples Beach Hotel redevelopment plan, which was the primary focus of a forum Wednesday at Moorings Country Club.
Private investor Ted Blankenship, former Ethics Naples executive director Ray Christman, former local business owner George Dondanville and former city manager Bill Moss qualified in February for the City Council special election.
Naples has set a special election for April 2 to fill former Councilwoman Linda Penniman's seat. Penniman resigned Jan. 16 to spend more time with her husband, Nick, who has been diagnosed with a rare health condition.

And: Naples to hold special election April 2 to fill council seat vacated by Linda Penniman
More than a third of the questions the candidates answered Wednesday were related to the proposed Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club redevelopment plan, which calls for tearing down the hotel, building a smaller resort and adding residential condos.
Kim Richards, CEO of The Athens Group, which would develop the project, has said the hotel's golf course will remain untouched aside from a few upgrades, but residents and members of the city's planning board have expressed an interest in implementing an easement that would prohibit developers from ever doing away with the golf course.
All candidates vehemently supported preserving the golf course in perpetuity.
CONSIDER SUBSCRIBING TODAY: Help support local journalism
"We must lock down and eliminate any possibility that this could revert to some other use besides a golf course or open space," Moss said. "That's primary and I don't think we're there yet, (so) I give you my word that it will be there before any approval is granted for the hotel."
Dondanville agreed.
"That's a green jewel in the middle of our city, (and) I don't want to see it change," he said.
Dondanville also noted that The Athens Group seems amicable to keeping the golf course, and if the city "chases (them) away," that could open the door for another developer who doesn't care about preserving the green space.

Residents and planning board members have also raised objections to the project's height, and Blankenship, Christman, Dondanville and Moss echoed those concerns Wednesday.
Christman said the Naples Beach Hotel project will be a "complete game-changer" for the city with regard to height, density and mass.
"Under the best circumstances, it will completely change how that part of town looks and feels and effect mobility," he said. "Under the worst of circumstances, it will create some serious problems."
However, Christman noted that the developer is currently addressing some of those concerns with city staff, so "nobody knows exactly what's being proposed" and it's a "wait and see" situation.

Blankenship also commended the developer for taking strides to make the project amenable to both city staff and residents.
"The project is beautiful and promising, (but there are) just a few changes to make it acceptable," he said.
A coalition of homeowners associations, which hosted Wednesday's standing-room-only event, have also expressed support for the project so long as the developers adequately address the group's primary concerns: building height, "canyon effect," setbacks and density; traffic after project completion; and preservation of the golf course in perpetuity.
The planning board will review the Naples Beach Hotel proposal again at its March 13 meeting.

Blankenship, 53, has lived in Naples since 2011. He lives in the Moorings and has more than 30 years of experience working for large global corporations. Blankenship noted that he has lived and worked in multiple states and countries.
Christman, 69, began his career in Pittsburgh as head of the city's Urban Redevelopment Authority. He later moved into the banking industry and worked in the Federal Home Loan Bank System for 15 years.
Dondanville, 68, grew up in southern Idaho and attended the University of Denver in the late '60s. He graduated with a law degree from Stetson University in Gulfport, Florida, in 1976 and moved to Fort Myers to begin practicing law.
Moss, 72, retired in January after serving as Naples city manager for a decade. Moss, who lives in Old Naples, said he decided to run for council because he wants to continue to serve the people of Naples as he did during his tenure as city manager.

The winner of the special election will serve the rest of Penniman's term, which expires Feb. 1, 2022.
The special election will cost about $40,000, according to city staff.
Penniman has offered no details about her husband's condition, except to say it must be treated by a specialist in Baltimore.
Penniman was first sworn in as a council member Feb. 19, 2014. She won re-election in 2018 with 2,865 votes, or 31.2 percent of the vote in a four-way race for three seats. Penniman was the top vote-getter.
Councilwoman Linda Penniman announced she's resigning effective immediately to spend more time with her husband, who has been diagnosed with a rare health condition. Lisa Conley, lisa.conley@naplesnews.com; 239-213-5308

Q: Slide out and fade effect using jQuery and localScroll I'm using localScroll to create a content slider. The problem is that I want to give a fade effect to the div that I'm sliding out, to make it fade before it disappears.
Does anyone have any idea how can I make this? I tried something with onBefore and onAfter but I didn't get what I expected.
Thanks!
LE: here is the code that I'm using:
$(document).ready(function() {
      var localScroll = $('#slider .slideshow-wrapper')
      var localSections = $('#slider .slideshow-wrapper ul.slideshow li');
      var local = $('#slider ul.slideshow');
      local.css('width', localSections[0].offsetWidth * localSections.length);

      var localScrollOptions = {
        target: localScroll,
        items: localSections,
        navigation: 'ul.tabs li a',
        hash: 'false',
        axis: 'xy',
        duration: 500,
        easing: 'swing'
        //onAfter: fadeAway
      };
      $('.container').serialScroll(localScrollOptions);

      $('ul.tabs').find('a span').click(selectNav);

  });

A: You can't use fadeOut because it sets the div style to display:none and thus the div has a zero height and width making the scrollTo plugin mess up pretty bad. I would suggest using opacity. In the code below I set the minimum opacity to 0.2 because when I set it to zero, it was hard to tell the content was scrolling.
I took the LocalScroll Demo and made these modifications - it seems to work pretty well. I didn't try to match your code because I know the code below works with the demo and your question title says localScroll but your code uses serialScroll. Anyway, I'm guessing the ul.slideshow li in your code should be equivalent to the .sub in the code below.
$.localScroll({
 target: '#content', // could be a selector or a jQuery object too.
 queue: false,
 duration: 500,
 hash: false,
 easing: 'swing',
 onBefore:function( e, anchor, $target ){
  // The 'this' is the settings object, can be modified
  $('.sub').animate({ opacity: 0.2 }, 250);
 },
 onAfter:function( anchor, settings ){
  // The 'this' contains the scrolled element (#content)
  $(anchor).animate({ opacity: 1 }, 250);
 }
});

Edit: I posted a demo at this pastebin

This is a bookcover for an exciting upcoming Sci-fi novel, set in a post-apocalyptic England. I wanted the cover to reflect the harshness of a post apocalyptic life, so I went for a grainy, black and white environment with crumbling infrastructure. I quite like the way I tinted the biohazard sign with pinks and greens to look especially contagious.
I understand the book's just going through the last draft, so should be published soon! If you have any comments, let me know on Twitter or drop me an email.

Beckham launched one into the left field stands with a pretty smooth looking swing and looked about as natural in the batter's box as you'd expect from, you know, someone who plays a totally different spot.

Cristina Cardenas (born 1957) is a painter, printmaker, and lithographer known for paying tribute to Mexican culture. It has been suggested that the imagery of her paintings is "meant to empower women".

Biography
Cristina Cardenas was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico in 1957. She moved to the United States and settled in Tucson, Arizona. Cardenas earned a Master of Fine Arts in printmaking from the University of Arizona in 1990. She engages in several forms of art including paintings, lithographs, prints, and even has some murals.

Notable works include Malinche, Coatlicue, y Virgen de los Remedios (1991) a mixed media painting that was a part of the Counter Colon-ialismo exhibition. The painting depicts Malintzin in front of Coatlicue, surrounded by La Virgen de los Remedios. The text within the painting reads "Malintzin, India noble, mujer inteligente" which translates to "Malintzin, noble and intelligent Indigenous women."  According to Cardenas, this work highlights Coatlicue's influence on Malintzin, as well as the religion imposed on her.

Also the work titled, La Nina de los Espejos (2005) which is a lithograph at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. This lithograph is a part of the "Unapologetic: All Women, All Year" exhibition. It features a girl with long, black flowing hair and explores the theme of women's strength.
